Gold Coast Music Awards all set to commemorate the best of the city’s music talent

Gold Coast metropolitan/ hip jump stalwart and previous GCMA champion Saint Lane has been creating high quality tunes on the Gold Coast because he was simply a young emerging rapper, researching a Bachelor of Popular Music at Griffith University.

Now with big portions of nationwide airplay and million of streams under his belt, this talented and also fashion-forward Gold Coast artist is a finalist in no fewer than 4 categories at this year’s awards: Release of the Year, Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, as well as Video of the Year. As well as he’s doing at the event, also.

“It’s incredibly amazing,” claims Lane.

“I’m just continuously functioning and also making new things as well as it’s cool to have something like the awards show up as well as make me quit and assume ‘Hey I’ve done some really amazing stuff in the last twelve months.’

“I’ve been stating for several years that the Gold Coast has the most effective music pocket in the entire nation. It’s so diverse. There’s an entire scene below and it’s its very own point. There are numerous awesome artists. Every weekend break I’m out somewhere and I’ll see some artists, go home and also pay attention to their things as well as go ‘That’s the most unbelievable point I’ve heard’.”

Gold Coast singer-songwriter, Chloe Styler, supplies a preference of feel-good power with her soul-soothing brand of nation pop. This year, she’s not only up for Release of the Year, however she’s going to be doing real-time at the honors for the very first time.

“I’m really happy to be a finalist up versus extraordinary musicians and releases from the Gold Coast over the last twelve months,” she informs us excitedly.

“We have an incredibly successful scene on the Gold Coast, so to also to be amongst the names up for election is truly heartfelt.

“I’m really thrilled to perform. My band and I are playing a tune from [album] ‘Side A’, and also we’re stired to be able to dip into the phase at HOTA, I’ve never ever played there as a band!”

With other live performances from Beckah Amani, Buttered, ECB, Lily Papas and Tijuana Cartel, this year’s GCMAs is readied to be one for the document publications.

Gold Coast Music Awards 2023 hits HOTA on 31 August.
